Black Beans with Coconut Water

Amazing black beans with coconut water for serving over jasmine rice. Even my Cuban in-laws love it!

Ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, diced
• 1 medium onion, peeled and halved
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and halved
• 1 (29 ounce) can canned black beans (such as Goya®)
• 1 (12 ounce) can unsweetened coconut water
• 0.5 cup white Spanish cooking wine
• 0.5 tablespoon ground cumin
• 1 bay leaf

Steps

1. Cook and stir bacon, onion, and jalapeno over medium heat in a medium-sized soup pot until bacon begins to brown and is mostly cooked through, about 5 minutes. Stir in black beans, coconut water, white cooking wine, cumin, and bay leaf. Cover and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 1 hour.
